Ah, the "He's coming right for us" defence.
The bootlicking is astonishing.
The officers involved should be similarly fired and charged with aggravated assault.

I wished didn't watch that... wasn't ready for that much blood.
Fuck the cops. Hope they rot in jail!

Sadly, it's far too easy for Trump's cult to defend this. I was reading a story just yesterday of Evangelicals literally crying with joy when Trump marched out to the church. "He's doing a Jericho walk! He's God's warrior!" they were saying.
When it was brought to their attention that he gassed and assaulted peaceful protesters, including members of the church, to do his photo op, their response was "they weren't peaceful. The White House reported they were violent" and "the Bishop has been tainted by Satan's lies."
... There's no hope for them, nor should people waste energy on them.
We are winning this fight and overall public opinion is swaying heavily on the right side. Keep up the pressure, no matter what small but vocal opposition say.
If I pushed someone down like that leaving them in serious condition in a hospital I'd be fired doing pretty much any other job. I understand pigs are scared shitless because they are cowards but how did this old man illicit a fight or flight response in that video? Even for a coward pig seems extreme.
That video is horrible and sad to watch.

Man, a guy I know is trying so hard to spin this.
'The cop was trying to pull him, not push him!'
'you can see how shaken he is!'
'he was pushing the other cop away because that other cop was going to hit him'
SMH, ducking people who worships uniforms.

Really hard to watch, man I hope he ends up okay. Poor guy. Those 2 pieces of shit need assault charges.
Yes. Paddle them on national TV like the children they are.
Yes. It's 1 part role playing, 1 part intimidation, 4 parts tax fund mismanagement. There is a paramilitary industrial complex for gear and huckster consultants who convince these guys that they're in a war and that all this gear, tactical training, and automatic weapons are necessary for their safety and that any show of weakness will put them in a pine box. They get a secondary stream of used or surplus military equipment like MRAPs. They are told that all this shit will make their enemies surrender just looking at them. They listen to Disturbed's Indestructible and imagine that they are the dude running around from place to place, but they lack the mental acuity (by design) to actually examine the fact that they can't be that dude because they're the victims of a fear factory. Meanwhile, there's some shitass at an arms company who is making millions off of selling shit to the governments AND the individuals (with "LEO discounts"), with lobbyist support from the NRA to make sure that the doors are always open.That's awful to watch.
Why do some of these cops look like they're going to raid a terrorist stronghold tonight? Is it normal in USA to have this kind of equipment?
Too many in authority and power decide that it's not their problem.
Watching a protester rush to help him, against a wall of cops... that man is a real neighbor and a real hero.
The man has been identified as Martin Gugino, a longtime peace activist. He has a YouTube channel, but it's mostly him giving sentencing statements in support of members of an anti-nuclear activist group. In one video he mentions how some people are afraid to call the police because the police might show up and start beating them.

Protester pushed to ground by police is longtime peace activist from Amherst
Martin Gugino, 75, was in serious but stable condition at Erie County Medical Center as of Thursday night, according to
All of these videos that are pouring in reflect police forces that are so coddled by their local governments, the thought of repercussions don't even creep into their heads. They don't know how to de-escalate and their intuitive response is always violence. Just imagine the images that haven't been caught on video through the years.
It's amazing to see the initial defense come out before they realize it was all recorded lol.
I must avoid violence against the elderly or something because I think its the first time I've watched a video seeing an elderly person abused. Do people usually bleed out their ears during a concussion?
I don't think it's normal, or good.. it flows so easily, too.
I hope he fully recovers and can make a statement.
Consider the following: A person at a normal, say, office job can arrive late a few times from having trouble sleeping and get fired. Or, honestly messing up some paperwork or something and be let go. And then you have police officer straight up trying to kill a civilian and their answer is... a temporary suspension. Like, I can't. I can't.
My gut says a lot of what you call boot licking isn't that at all. the police defenders are secretly disappointed in what happened but they view it as collateral damage. They want law enforcement to be able operate with impunity because the brutality will almost exclusively be aimed at non-whites.
They are either SWAT or Federal Police, camo guys with them are National Guard.
Fuck the police

For those who don't want to watch, a bunch of cops in riot gear approach an old man and one pushes him to the ground, the man immediately stops moving and bleeds from his ear. A cop reflexively motions to help but his buddies stop him, and they keep marching, after one phones in his earpiece to call a medic. I was stunned. This man might be dead? RIP if so.
two cops were suspended as a result
Buffalo Police Officers Suspended After Shoving 75-Year-Old Protester (Published 2020)
A video showed the protester motionless on the ground and bleeding. Fifty-seven officers resigned from the department’s Emergency Response Team in solidarity with the two who were suspended.
The New York Times
Two police officers in Buffalo, New York, were suspended after shoving a 75-year-old protester in this incident that was caught on video. An official said the man was hospitalized with a head injury....

This video is gruesome and will make you seeth with anger. The officer has been identified and calls are being made for his arrest. The Department has also made a statement denying that the officer in question shoved him, rather the man "tripped and fell". And they wonder why nobody likes...

ah sorry, lock my thread then
This is on the same line when LAPD shot that homeless guy in the wheelchair with rubber bullets in the face..
Cuomo said in his presser earlier today that he's spoken to Gugino. He's well enough to sue the PD then.
It is getting even crazier, I keep seeing pretty highly upvoted twitter posts trying to say it's fake because he has a blood packet on the back of his head and he tripped on purpose to activate it. I couldn't tell if people were joking when they said "It came out of the ear due to a blood capsule he put in there that activated as well!" it just seems insane people can think like this.
I don't get how the hell people are so brainwashed into thinking every single thing that happens is fake if it isn't in their favor.
I really hope the guy is doing okay.
It's sad how the media plays along with nonsense. All the stupid feel good cop stories about dancing, buying ice cream and playing with kids has always been propaganda to humanize scum and prop up the bad apple narrative.
Just saw this on FB
It's shocking (but not surprising) that they continued goose stepping past this man as his head bled on the ground.
And I bet they are thinking they are some sort of martyr in a fight against protesters. Fucking cowards.
So, does police just do what they wan and are out of control, or are they encouraged by chiefs and civil bosses
The worst part is how they lied about it.
Like, we need to be able to trust the police to tell the truth. Minimum.
I know that has never been true, but it is doubly important now.
rotten to the core! i mean seriously some 75 year old man comes over to return Police kit and their response was get back you filthy peasant get in the dirt
Honestly the american police establishment is so broken, and this is something i never thought as a unionist in the UK i'd be saying, but the Police union needs to be outlawed, they hold too much power, protecting these monsters and forcing out anyone who even dares bismerch a fellow officers honor
Honestly America your entire systems are broken, DA's shouldn't be elected, it allows smear campaigns against anyone with the spine to prosecute cops, it alows unions to bully politicians to let them do what they want, it feels now like Land of the Free was a cruel joke being played on you all
